webSAFE
A web research toolkit with multi-provider search and clean Markdown extraction from static and JavaScript-rendered pages, plus public code and library docs search—available via CLI and MCP.
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Guion Web is a Node.js web research toolkit. It provides Exa, Brave, DeepSeek, or a managed Kepos Bridge search endpoint, Context7 library documentation lookup, Sourcegraph public code search, page-link discovery, and two page-rendering modes through a CLI, stdio MCP server, personal HTTP service, Pi extension, and DeepSeek Harness (DSH) integration: HTTP HTML-to-Markdown extraction and explicit browser rendering for client-rendered pages on supported hosts.
DSH setup note: Runweb dsh syncbefore installing the DSH bundle andweb dsh doctorafterward. The workflow creates compatible copies of the familiar stock preset ids and hides their official shipped duplicates while preserving ordinary user presets.
Install and configure
Node.js 20 or later is required. @guionai/web exposes its web executable, stdio MCP server, and personal HTTP service; it does not provide a root JavaScript or TypeScript SDK. Use the Pi or DSH packages for those host integrations.
npm install --global @guionai/web # or run without a global install npx @guionai/web --help
Search needs one provider credential for Exa, Brave, or DeepSeek. If Exa and Brave are both present, Exa is selected by default; DeepSeek is never selected implicitly. Select a provider explicitly with --provider exa, --provider brave, --provider deepseek, or --provider kepos-bridge. DeepSeek makes one auxiliary model call using its native web-search tool and returns the same normalized ranked URL/title/snippet results as the other providers. Kepos Bridge uses the bundled default route unless it runs in DSH, whose live settings card can override the route. Context7 works anonymously when its key is absent.
The HTTP service uses Exa directly when KEPOS_BRIDGE_ENDPOINT is absent or empty, and requires a non-empty EXA_API_KEY. A configured endpoint enables Bridge-to-Exa search. Set the server-local WEB_SEARCH_PROVIDER=deepseek to select DeepSeek instead; this re

Questions
What is the web MCP server?
A web research toolkit with multi-provider search and clean Markdown extraction from static and JavaScript-rendered pages, plus public code and library docs search—available via CLI and MCP.
What tools does web expose?
14 in total: 14 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is web safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does web need?
It reads BRAVE_API_KEY, CONTEXT7_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and EXA_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does web run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @guionai/web at 0.1.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (f3b432fd6d27), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
